Looong weekend!


Gotta love the long weekends. This was the first weekend in a long time where nothing was planned. Other than Ed's wedding yesterday, we had nothing to do but relax and do whatever we wanted. Yesterday we had a leisurely breakfast followed by a walk to the Distillery. There was a live band playing so we had a seat and a beer and relaxed in the sun. Later on we met my friend Susie and her friend Amanda and went for dinner at Pure Spirits and Mayan Hot Chocolate at SOMA. I had never tried the Mayan concoction before but Susie raved about it so Gerwyn and I decided to give it a try. I had mine with a shot of espresso and boy was it deeeleecious! The chocolate is melted and kept warm and mixed with chili and some other spices so it has a nice kick at the end. It warms your throat and in my case, my ears well after you've finished.

After the Distillery, we all decided to watch District 9 at the Scotiabank theatre. Susie's husband plus a couple of Gerwyn's friends also joined us and then after we went for drinks on the patio at Gabby's on King West. It was a beautiful night, the weather was perfect and we all reminisced about going to the clubs on long weekends as we watched all the young clubbers walking by.

Now we're getting ready to check out the Hot and Spicy food festival at Harbourfront with Gerwyn's friends Lawrence and his girlfriend. Gotta love the long weekends...
